There are multiple ways to enter this
Sweepstakes as described below; however, you may enter only 1 time during the
Sweepstakes Period by using only 1 of the entry methods outlined below.
During the Sweepstakes Period, an eligible
entrant who is logged in to their Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok account may
be presented with a Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok sponsored post prompting the
entrant to enter the Sweepstakes (the “Ad”). Sponsor will determine Ad
placement in its sole discretion. Accordingly, only select Facebook, Instagram,
or TikTok users will see and be able to enter via the Ad. To enter via the Ad, click
on the in-Ad “Sign Up” button and complete the registration form by submitting
your first name, last name, a valid email address and check the box verifying you
are 18 years of age or older (or at least 19 years old if you reside in Alabama
or Nebraska) and agree to these Official Rules. Upon completion and submission
of the registration form you will receive 1 Sweepstakes entry into the
applicable Entry Period drawing. In addition to the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy,
as outlined in Section 9 of these Official Rules, entries through the Ad are
also subject to Meta’s Privacy Policy found at Facebook Privacy Center or Instagram Privacy Center or TikTok’s Privacy Policy, as applicable.
Entry Limit: You are limited to 1 entry during
the Sweepstakes Period, regardless of whether you receive more than 1
invitation to enter. Use
of any robotic, automatic, programmed or similar entry method will void your entry
and result in disqualification. Any attempt by any individual to exceed the
above-indicated entry limit by using multiple/different e-mail or IP addresses,
Facebook, Instagram or TikTok accounts, identities, physical addresses or any
other methods will void all of that individual's entries
and that individual will be disqualified. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of an entrant, Sponsor and Administrator
will rely on the information submitted by the entrant to register for this Sweepstakes.
If additional information provided by entrant to claim a prize (including but
not limited to entrant’s first and last name) is inconsistent with the
information provided at registration, Sponsor
and/or Administrator may disqualify such entrant and such disqualification may
result in the forfeiture of any prize such entrant may claim (if applicable).
Sponsor, in its discretion, may request additional documentation from entrant
to confirm entrant’s identity. Failure to comply will result in
disqualification.
2. ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open
to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia
(“D.C.”) who are 18 years of age or older at time of entry (at least 19 years
old if you reside in Alabama or Nebraska). The respective employees, officers
and directors of the Sponsor, Merkle Inc. (“Administrator”),
VaynerMedia, Goodness Inc., HMT Associates, Inc., Fanatics Holdings, Inc.,
Elvis Communications Limited and the respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries and agencies of
each of the foregoing (collectively the “Promotion Parties”), and members
of the immediate families (defined as including spouse, biological, adoptive
and step-parents, grandparents, siblings, children and grandchildren, and each
of their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside) or households
(whether related or not) of any of the above are not eligible to participate in
the Sweepstakes. The Sweepstakes is void outside the 50 United States, D.C., and
where prohibited.
3. SWEEPSTAKES DRAWING AND WINNER REQUIREMENTS: Administrator
is an independent organization whose decisions, along with those of the
Sponsor, are final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes,
including but not limited to those related to the selection of the potential
winners. Administrator
will select the potential Entry Period winners in separate random drawings from
all eligible entries received during the applicable Entry Period and all
eligible, non-winning entries received during previous Entry Periods through
all entry methods combined. The drawings will take place on or around the dates
listed in the table at the top of these Official Rules. Non-winning Entry
Period entries will carry over into any subsequent Entry Period drawings. Each
potential winner of a Grand Prize will be required to sign and return a
Declaration of Compliance, Liability Waiver and where not prohibited a
Publicity Release ("Declaration") which must be received by
Administrator within 4 days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim the prize. If a potential winner cannot be
contacted, or a prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, or if a potential winner fails to sign and
return the Declaration or provide any other requested information within the
required time period, or if a potential
winner is deemed ineligible to receive a prize for any reason, the
applicable prize will be forfeited and
may be awarded to an alternate winner in a random drawing from among all
remaining eligible entries. If necessary, this process will be repeated up to 3
times, after which the prize will not be awarded if it is unclaimed in
accordance with these Official Rules.
Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of
eligible entries received for the applicable Entry Period (and previous Entry
Periods, as described above) through all entry methods combined. Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance
with these Official Rules.

6. GENERAL RULES: By entering the
Sweepstakes, entrants accept and agree to these Official Rules and the
decisions of the Sponsor and Administrator. Sponsor reserves the
right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Sweepstakes if any fraud, technical
failures, human error, or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper
functioning of the Sweepstakes, or any event or cause beyond Sponsor’s control (e.g.
events such as natural calamities, national emergencies, wide spread illnesses,
declarations of war, acts of God, acts of terrorism or government shutdown of a
social media platform) (each, a “discontinuance”) interferes with any aspect of
the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to fulfillment of the prizes, as
determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor, in its
sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible,
previously non-winning entries received up to the date of discontinuation to
award the prizes. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or
the operation of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to submitting
fraudulent entries, or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or
any other promotion offered by Sponsor or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive
manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate
operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the
right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest
extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these
Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. In no event
will more prizes than are stated in these Official Rules be awarded. If, for
any reason, more prize notifications are sent (or more claims are received)
than the number of prizes offered as set forth in these Official Rules, Sponsor
reserves the right to award the intended number of prizes through a random
drawing from among all eligible prize notifications/claims
received. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between
disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials
or notifications and these Official Rules, these Official Rules shall prevail,
govern and control.
7. Limitations

The Released Parties are not responsible for: (a) any incorrect or inaccurate
information, either caused by printing errors or by any of the equipment or
programming associated with or utilized in the Sweepstakes or provided by

malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections to the internet, in phone lines,
social media platforms, or network hardware or software; (c) unauthorized human
intervention in any part of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the
entry process; (d) technical or human error which may occur in the
administration of the Sweepstakes, including but not limited to the processing
of entries; (e) late, lost, or undeliverable; or (f) lost, late, unreceived,
damaged, incomplete, invalid, un-intelligible, garbled, delayed or misdirected entries
or failure to receive entries due to limitation of third-party social network
platforms. If for any reason an entrant's entry is confirmed to have been
erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole
remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes, if it is possible.
8. WAIVER AND DISPUTES: Except where prohibited, each entrant agrees
that: (a) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or

other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all
rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW
THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the
rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in connection with the
Sweepstakes, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law rules (whether of the State of Michigan or any other jurisdiction),
which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Michigan. Furthermore, EACH entrant and each of the
Promotion Parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any right THEY may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim or dispute
arising from or relating to the Sweepstakes or these Official Rules.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of these Official Rules shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision. In the event that
any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or
illegal, these Official Rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be
construed as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
